First, I gotta say I love the Bees. We've seen a lot of land together. But I was wondering, do they ever get tired so to speak? For three years now my first set of Bees has been nothing but reliable. But here lately I've got two units that just aren't keeping up. Sometimes they fire, sometimes they don't. Granted, I shoot pro rodeo and it's a dusty, dirty some times hard place to be. Always indoors, climate controlled. Firing them off with PW+ II's. Thought it was the PW's, replaced all the batteries and Sync cords, problem still exists. Thought my transmitter was broken as the antenna wobbles all over the place. So I tried two different transmitters (the whole TT1 system is crap, BTW) and that didn't fix it either. Shooting 4-800's at half power for fast(er) recycle times. Not popping them off at real high speeds, max would be 6-7 shots in 8 seconds. Every couple of months I take some canned air and blow the dust out of them. Put up and stored after every use in the big black case. Do the Caps inside these units dry up and cause mis-fires? Two units still performing flawlessly, two are starting to crap out. Any thoughts? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
